Two ways to learn Transcendental Meditation with TM Suffolk:

1.  In person four-day course on consecutive days in an adjacent building until the Peace Palace re-opens.  Onsite self-contained B&B adjacent to the Peace Palace is usually available for those travelling from a distance – please ask.  Bring your own transport and you can also enjoy this beautiful area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB).  These courses are offered regularly every month.

2.  We also offer the four-day course with in-person instruction on the first day followed by home-learning with the aid of video meetings and a digital course. Your personal TM Teacher checks in with you for a brief meeting each day on Zoom without requiring you to be in-person for all four instructional sessions of the course. This can start any time which is convenient and has been proving very popular.

As always, whether you complete your course fully in-person or partially at home, all our courses offer a full 6-month follow-up programme of individualised support and guidance.

If a later arrival is unavoidable this can be discussed when booking. Subsequent meetings throughout your stay will be in a group with the final session on Sunday enabling you to leave after lunch. Meals are available from Thursday evening through to and including Sunday lunch. Catering is vegetarian.

In recognition of this, the Trustees of Maharishi Foundation, the charity that teaches TM in the UK, have developed a scale of fees based on gross income.

In this way people on higher incomes pay more and those on lower incomes pay less. We do not ask to see payslips or anything, but simply rely on your integrity.

If you have any questions about the appropriate fee for you, your teacher will be happy to discuss this with you.

Concession (for those on universal credit, state pension only or similar or full-time students with NUS card or similar) - £295

Income under £25,000 - £395

"I was amazed by the Peace Palace … the feeling of space was brilliant … the whole effect was one of under-stated elegance. The food was beautifully served and the staff were so helpful."

Peace Palace patio

The Peace Palace is mainly used for residential TM Retreats for those who already practise Transcendental Meditation but also offers Wellness B&B for anyone who appreciates the settled ambience of the building and serves delicious organic vegetarian meals. It is the home of 'TM Suffolk' and is a lovely settled place to learn TM in comfort away from the busy demands of your daily life.

The Peace Palace is designed and constructed according to the principles of the most ancient system of architecture, Sthapatya Veda - Maharishi Vastu - realised in a modern context. It is part of a garden village development with 60 dwellings designed to the same principles - and more planned. There is also a Maharishi Ayurveda Centre next to the main building.

"I first discovered TM when listening to a discussion about it on the local radio station. This came during a time that was very difficult in my life having become widowed . Although I have have tried many forms of meditation, I felt there was a need for further growth. Whilst learning TM in residence at the Peace Palace, I had the privilege of meeting lots of people from all walks of life. Since practising TM it has given me the most amazing experiences and benefits. The meditation has left me feeling at peace, happy, more energetic and content. The benefits are indescribable, mentally and physically. My friends and family have all seen a wonderful change in me, I can't thank Annie and the team enough."
